Installation Notes:

To start, you need the qt library already installed and ready to use.  The 
version of the qt library MUST BE 1.31!  After this is done, edit the 
Makefile for xIrc to reflect where it resides.  These are the only changes 
that should be needed.  Though, if you have some strange locations as to 
where your standard include files and libraries reside, you may need to 
modify the Compiler and Loader flag lines also.

After you have modified the makefile to fit your system, change directory 
to the xIrc directory and type 'make depend; make' again.  This should 
build the xIrc application.  

I have found that after building xIrc, that stripping it of it's symbol 
info greatly reduces it's size and I can't help but expect that to reduce 
its load time and running overhead. From it's directory, type in 

	'strip xIrc'

to do this deed for you. Since upgrading to qt-0.94 and gcc-2.7.2, the
reduction has does not seem to be as substantial

Copy the xIrc.defaults to the directory where you plan to use it from, 
say your home directory, and modify it to suit your needs.

Copy the servers.dat file to the file /usr/local/lib/xIrc/.servers.  It 
may be placed elsewhere and by another name but you will have to set the X 
resources XIRC*ServerDialog.Filename and XIRC*ServerDialog.  Path to point 
to it .  This MUST BE DONE for xIrc to function properly!  

As  of  xIrc-1.15  there is the pixmap file xIrc.ppm which needs to be
placed  where  the  xIrc  can  find  it.  xIrc  looks  by  default  in
/usr/local/lib, the current directory (./) and your home directory for
it.  This  may be changed through the resources. This file was derived
from the file xIrc.xpm using the program xv. 

Good luck and happy Ircing.
